sqeaking coming from engine until it warms up

[stangmsy]

every time i start my car when it is cold it makes a horrible squeaking noise that i think is coming from pullies i have steeda u/d but dont think that could be it . but once it warms up the sound goes
so if you have any ideas please tell me

Sounds like your belt is slipping.

My '98 GT is doing the exact same thing. It's a sqeek, not a squeel. It's not the belt. I agree, it is something to do with the pulleys. I am 100% OEM. Some cars have tensioner pulley problems. I'm going to be looking into that possibility.

 

[stangmsy]

you think the reason why it stops is because as it gets hotter the belt expands

Don't know what's causing the prob. Will be investigating it tonight or maybe tomorrow.

maybe get your timing belt/fan belts checked. i had this problem in my other car, and it was the fan belts.

Mine started sqeaking yesterday when I started the car to go to work. I sprayed some WD-40 on the idler pullies with no change. So I'm pretty sure my belt is slipping. And it's so freaking annoying too.

You can get "belt dressing" that may help out with that.

Is it kinda like a howling/whistling sound? Mine does it for about 3 or 4 minutes when its cold, then goes away. I'm thinkin its the belt as well..
